When Heart Bells Chime In Their Own Sweet Way

Divinely blessed

here you are

listening to a call afar

listening in

with all your heart

waiting here

as it all starts

blossoming.

And bells are blooming

with the sweetest scent

and all the air is laden fresh

as raindrops dwell all around

and in your heart

you feel the sound

of Love…….

The peace

the quiet

the heaven sent

the kind you seek

and always meant

to find.

But oh, many lessons came with that

as you looked for what

you thought you needed

and none of those succeeded

the way you thought

they ought

to do

but, truly dear

we’re telling you

they always do

enlighten you,

bring the lessons you came to learn

and every time you did discern

and grew to leave,

to indeed succeed

in growing

and coming to

the knowing that

all we do

is our path

and in our heart we know that’s true

as growing is a learning too.

Every time you come to share

and give a sense of all your caring

then in that way

and in your sharing

comes a blessing to lead you on

to somewhere new

and someplace stronger

within you.

So as the bells chime in their own sweet way

you are here in your everyday

to simply follow

in a simple way

and all will bloom

and fragrance will indeed

show you how

you do succeed

by proceeding on, in a patient way,

to seek yourself and hear us say……

Keep going

keep the door always open

and into your life

at any time

comes the sweetest bell

with the clearest chime

the bell to ring

the changes in

the bell to swing

on any lovely breezy day

and let you feel

in every way

the blessings all around you

the every-days you live through

the awareness of the little things

and the simplest way

the daily brings

Love to you.

Hearts will sing

when you love yourself in your life you have

the inner joy glows bright

as you pass to sleeping every night.

Oh glory, glory

I hear the call

of every bell in the countryside

lightly chiming to call the day

it’s yours’ indeed

so bring in play

and expand yourself in many ways.

The Light Within

In the gold

is a bag of gold

and lo and behold

I am told

it’s always there

abundance flows

and he who believes

is she who knows

and in this light and all around

there is gold dust to be found.

And where you seek is in your heart

and where you dwell is within

and there within,

in your heart centre,

is the one, your life mentor.

So go within and there is gold

and spread the precious dust you find

to all around

and leave behind

anything that no longer is

the essence of the way you feel

bring yourself to the well

and presently she who is

is she who dwells

and here you are happily

being yourself and being free.

The gold, it’s true, is inside you,

the well it sits within,

so draw your life’s flow from the bubbling stream

and light will shine

and leaves will gleam

and flowers are the gifts for you,

petals soft and colours rich

this is the way of Nature’s gifts.

Bring yourself the gems there are

and share the light from every star

and live the way your heart knows true

so being yourself is healing you.

If That May Have Been A Time In-Between

Sweet Violet light

with gentle scent

wherever you went

I did go

wherever you walked

along so slowly

there in the dell

beneath the trees

was the whisper of love

and the song of the breeze.

There in the shade

of the forest glade

we played

with love at midday

and who is to say

that that was the place

that I wondered if

I would scatter your ashes

if you follow my drift.

If that was a place

in the cold of winter

where warmth became us

and there was none of the splintering

that followed on after,

just mist and colour

and some good fun laughter.

Along we go

and who is to know

if that may have been

a time in between

where love and shade

and sunshine and clouds

have passed over from heaven

and come to me now

as a remembrance of winter

and love in the mist

of the first time I felt

and enjoyed your kiss,

of the heart of the centre

and the beginning to end

when we became less spontaneous

and faith blew in the wind,

as there came the spring

and the summer season dried

all that we knew

and then left behind.

Oh come to the violets,

oh come to the times

when love began on the cold winters night

and times they changed from then onto then

and let’s let go

and begin again….

Pink Love Sharing

Pink Lake In Summertime

I love him to death, I do,

he is my rock it’s true.

As further along we travel this road,

we do and will, share our load.

Through hills and valleys, lakes and pools

we go together as a rule,

we do our best to harmonize

and live with purpose through this life.

And you may wonder why it’s so

that there are times

when the flow, is just a trickle

and you are weary

keep on going little one

you’ll find the peace

and enjoy sunshine,

it is not that you must ‘toe a line’,

it is that you must ’let it go’

and bring yourself emotionally

to swim the ocean, swim the seas

and rest each day knowingly

that you are loved

and so is he.

Love never dies and here you are

together sharing warm love around

there is enough

and you are safe

please sit with that my little girl

and come to hum

and sweetly ‘twirl’

bring yourself to quietly sit

and share your warmth all around

you are blessed bountifully

know that truth and be free.

Let the waters, ebb and flow

you are guided wherever you go.

You will turn the corner and there you’ll see

the grassy steps up to be free.

I Loved You My Love.

I Loved You My Love

Lyrics by B Porteous

Thanks for the gold coins

white daisies and ruby ring

when you gave them from heaven

they meant everything.

You said ‘forgive me my transgressions

be they big or just small,

when I looked back from here

I just saw it all’

Chorus:

I saw your sadness

the pain in your heart,

I saw my sorrow and loss

and it’s too late to start.

But you came to heaven

to see how I was

and you know now I loved you

I loved you because.

Life passes so quickly

in a skip and a hop

and then one day

with a heart-stop

I dropped.

I left your world

though you held me within,

I left you My Love

so you could begin.

Begin your life

find a love you can trust

and shine your smile

forever on by

for I am gone now My Love

it was my time to die.

Repeat chorus:

I saw your sadness

the pain of your heart

I saw my sorrow and loss

and it’s too late to start.

But you came to heaven

to see how I was

and you know now

I loved you My Love

I loved you because.

Grieving Is Like Leaving.........

Love In The Mist

Nine years ago today I read your eulogy

and then went into another room

to share a cup of tea.

And all the time along the way

I thought my grief would heal one day,

but although there are shifts and better times,

my heart just circles back to you

and faith helps me to carry through

all these years, occasional visitations,

but always, never another friend like you.

Five years ago you took me to heaven

to show me around,

you said you were sorry for your transgressions

be they big, or small,

and we healed so much

and I came back to continue along

healing myself and to write you a song.

This song with lovely lyrics,

I said I would share one day

and I continued writing in other ways.

But now I feel that cycle ends.

I must be present in my life.

I must heal the fractures,

be less vulnerable,

express myself from my heart

and begin again with a new start.

So as promised

and to continue Pink Love Shining

I will share those lyrical lines

knowing now that I’ve healed in time.

And as always

grieving, is like leaving

never going to arrive

until you do,

you do survive,

as the only way is working through,

casting off until there’s you

now knowing you as you do.
